Yes, it’s true, I started writing this in the car park outside my local shopping centre…

Debenhams has a sale on and I went to check out the suitcases, with all the travelling I’m doing I thought I should get a sturdier set of luggage.

I had my granddaughter with me, she climbed in the front of the car, grabbed the 4 wheel drive switch and managed to get it stuck in 4 wheel drive!

4 wheel driveNow, this is my 1st 4 wheel drive, I had no idea how to disengage the darn thing so resorted to everybody’s friend, Google, (thank god for 4G)…

“Drive it back and forward” is the advice given in all the forums. Nope, no joy, still stuck and 2 babies starting to get fractious.

 

 

LillyThe 8 week old was consoled with a gentle shoogle (Scottish for shake), Lilly, who got us into this mess in the first place had to make do with Peppa Pig video on the mobile.

Butter wouldn’t melt, but I felt like throttling her!

Eventually, I called my mechanic friend, “drive it back and forward” he says…been there done that…

“You’re not doing it right” he says and then proceeds to explain HOW to drive it back and forward to disengage the 4 wheel drive!

Ok, that did the trick, we’re good to go again!
